<p>"Mid-career colleagues: it’s time to go back to the future.</p> <p>Time to learn again. Time to build professional and social networks at work. Take a lunch break. Bring home a few fewer RVUs.</p> <p>I recently started a monthly journal club for our small section of gastroenterologists as a way to recreate some of what I loved about residency. A case conference to discuss difficult cases is next.</p> <p>While the rewards of these diversions are not quantifiable, they are still valuable.</p> <p>I hope my colleagues feel the same way. Maybe I’ll throw in some free movie tickets, as well."</p> <p><a href="https://www.princetonhcs.org/find-a-doctor/anish-sheth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Anish Sheth</a> is a gastroenterologist.</p> <p>He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "<a href= "https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2021/04/attention-mid-career-physicians-lets-find-our-ikigai.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Attention mid-career physicians: Let’s find our ikigai</a>."
